OH MY GOD UHHHHH.... I love a lot of albums. This is a really hard choice...
I have to choose a tie between Transatlanticism by Death Cab For Cutie and The Moon And Antarctica by Modest Mouse. Both albums are beautiful and ingeniously made.
Transatlanticism, other than being a hard title name to pronounce (at least for me), is just simply a beautiful album. I could just fall asleep or daydream to the tracks on the album. The opening song is outstanding and it completely covers much of the other tracks on the album. The other tracks never cease to disappoint me. I really like the album art too. Death Cab For Cutie is such a great band. <3333
The Moon And Antarctica gets dark over time in the album. Well, most of Modest Mouse's older music where pretty dang dark, and they still kinda are. This was between their transition between styles and they were starting to get popular when the album was released so this isn't their popular album with the people who like this band. There is a lot of mega-hipsters who like MM XC lol. I personally like it though because it flows really nicely and the songs are really deep. It's just a nice transition from the obvious drug references in their earlier albums, and the lead songwriter improved on his writing too compared to the earlier albums. His songs could be considered poetry. Issac is a really nice songwriter.
